And likely to be for SPAM? Or will it be back to the gloop-fest?

Predicted -5 with windchill feeling like -9 I suspect it will be very very hard and not much mud.

Im doing the 25K as I am big jess 🙂

I was out above the Kiwi on NYE and it was as hard as a hard thing. Lovely, almost like riding in the dry!

Sadly not making it to the SPAM this weekend, which is a shame.

So then Soma_Rich you will not be joining me? 😥 I still plan to do the 50km. What could possibly go wrong? 😀

Me Andy and WCA are all wimping out and doing the 25K. My excuses are as follows:

1. its only a tenner
2. I felt dodgy on the last couple of ride
3. I dont work well in the cold
4. I will be home quicker and the baby sitter wont kill me
5. I wont matter if I stop to take pics/add layers/remove layers

🙂

Cwl, it's all solid up here, but aware it's a bit milder down those parts.

I am only doing the 25K to make sure Andy and Rich don't come last.

I have just finished my 67er 'special' mentioned on another thread.

Well the ambient temp in Wilts is currently 1 degree, add in the wind chill factor across the plain so expect sub zero all day. Was cold and icey in most parts yesterday with a bit of claggyness around Imber. Better than rain anyday!
